The present invention relates to a clock having a variable time tumbler that enables to simultaneously check the time of the area and the time of the departure area.

In general, watches are the most commonly used in daily life, such as wristwatches, wall clocks, clocks, etc. In addition, there are various watches such as sundials, water clocks, pocket watches, and electronic watches.

There are two main types of clocks: large clocks and portable watches.

The large clock is a wall clock, a left clock, and the like, and the portable clock is a small one that can be carried like a wrist watch or a pocket watch, and is not strictly distinguished. Large clocks are usually used as pendulum clocks for home use, and there are also decorative clocks. Most of the big clocks also have mechanical clocks and electric clocks. Recently, a wide range of tuning fork and crystal clocks have been introduced, such as battery clocks, transistor clocks, tuning forks, quartz watches, and electronic clocks.

Portable watches are wristwatches, pocket watches, necklace watches and ring watches. In addition to the self-winding watch, which is a self-winding watch that automatically winds up while you are carrying it, there is a calendar watch that displays the date and day of the week, as well as an hour hand, minute hand, and second hand. Magnetic clocks to prevent magnetic influences, seismic devices so that the machine will not be damaged even if the clocks are dropped. Waterproof clocks, electronic clocks, and dials to prevent water from entering under water. There are analog electronic clocks, digital clocks displaying time with letters, and electronic wrist watches powered by crystal oscillators.

Clocks were made with various mechanisms according to the social and economic needs of each age. Since the beginning of social life, clocks of simple instruments such as sundials and water clocks have been devised and used.
